Copacabana Palace Hotel

What Copacabana Palace Hotel does

The Copacabana Palace Hotel is a 1923-founded luxury hotel located at Avenida Atlântica 1702, on the beachfront of Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The property, with architecture designed by Joseph Gire, operates as part of Belmond Management Limited's global luxury collection and has been under LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) ownership since LVMH's 2019 acquisition of Belmond. It functions as a flagship asset within Belmond's portfolio of 24 hotels, trains, boats, and lodges across 15 countries, and is one of two Belmond properties in Brazil alongside Hotel das Cataratas near Iguassu Falls.

The hotel offers 140 apartments and suites across four categories — Signature Suites (116-832 m², accommodating up to 14 guests), Penthouse Suites (105-222 m²), Standard Suites (44-97 m²), and Apartments (26-44 m²) — along with three restaurants (Mee with one Michelin star for Pan-Asian cuisine, Ristorante Hotel Cipriani with one Michelin star for Italian cuisine, and Pérgula for Brazilian cuisine), a Pool Bar, a full-service spa (currently closed for renovation), private beach access, and 13 event spaces accommodating up to 2,000 guests including the historic Copacabana Palace Theater. The operating model is multi-channel: direct bookings via reservation.belmond.com, global central reservations call centers across North America, Europe, Brazil, Australia, and Asia-Pacific, B2B travel-trade partnerships through the Belmond Pro portal, and dedicated corporate-event and group-booking sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The annex building is temporarily closed for renovations through October 2026, the main pool is offline from June through September for refurbishment, and the spa and Ristorante Hotel Cipriani are also under renovation. The customer base spans luxury leisure travelers, destination weddings, corporate events, and culinary enthusiasts.
